Overview 

This article explains the process of adding Roast Goals.

Why use Roast Goals?

The Roast Goals feature allows you to monitor your roasts and consistency objectives without needing a Roast Comparison report. 
Cropster automatically checks your roasts for various parameters and provides immediate feedback after each roast and in the end-of-day production email, indicating which roasts passed or failed.


Instructions

Navigating to the Roast Goals overview page 

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar. 
  2. Navigate to Roasts > Goals.
  3. Within the Roast Goals overview page, you can perform several key actions:
    • Select +Add goal (1) to create new goals.
    • Click Customize (2) to edit your view, then simply check the boxes for the columns you want to see on the Roast Goals overview.
    • Select Edit (3) to modify your goals.
    • Click Delete (4) to remove your goals.
    • Select See report (5) to view the Roast Goal Report and see which roasts successfully met your goals.



Creating new Roast goals

  1. Select +Add goal. 
  2. Choose whether to apply universal goals to all your profiles and roasts or set specific goals for individual profiles using the options below:
    • All profiles/roasts: Select the checkbox for any profiles you wish to remove from this goal.
    • Selected profiles: Select this option to apply profile-specific roast goals to your production run.
  3. Select your goal type via the dropdown:
    • Relative goals: Meet the reference (Recommended)
    • Absolute goals:
      • Weight: Start weight, End weight, Weight loss
      • Time: Development time, Development time ratio, Duration
      • Temperature: Constant bean temperature, Start temperature, End temperature
      • RoR (Rate of Rise): Bean temp. RoR/10s, Bean temp. RoR/15s, Bean temp. RoR/30s (time framed), Bean temp. RoR/60s, Constant RoR
      • Other attributes: First crack, Roast value, Roast value 2.
  4. Define your goal by filling in the remaining details for your chosen goal type.
  5. Click Create goal.
     

Relative Roast goals

Relative goals automatically adapt when you change the Reference roast.

  1. Select Meet the reference via the Select goal dropdown.
  2. Select the categories you want to track, then enter your target values in the Allowed range field.
  3. Use the Allowed, Lower, and Upper range fields to customize your targets. These give you the flexibility to set different margins above or below your target. 
  4. The Create goal button will activate once all required information has been entered.
  5. Select Create goal to submit.
     


Absolute Roast goals

Absolute goals are set targets that remain fixed, regardless of any changes to your Reference roast. 

  1. Select any of the Absolute goals via the Select goal dropdown.
  2. Define the Unit.
  3. Use the Lower boundary and Upper boundary fields to specify the boundaries for the goal's acceptable range.
  4. The Create goal button will activate once all required information has been entered.

Adding Roast goals to your Roast overview page

  1. Log in to the online platform C-sar. 
  2. Navigate to Roasts on the main menu bar.

  4. Ensure the Goals checkbox is selected.
